    • Available: Ideally from earlymarch to end May, with the possibility of extending if it’s a good fit and our travel plan.


    Hello from Arafo, Tenerife! We are Simon, Axelle, our 10-month-old daughter Lili, and Bongo, our adorable dog. We’re a Belgian-French couple who speak both French and English (simon speaks Spanish). Our cozy home is surrounded by nature, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and the ocean.
    We’re humanitarian workers who have made Tenerife our base after welcoming baby Lili. Simon works on house projects while Axelle has a remote job. We’re looking for a friendly, nature-loving person to become part of our family, helping with childcare and occasional gardening.

    Childcare:
    • Spend time with Lili from 9 AM to 3 PM (1 hour lunch break), Monday to Friday (weekends free).
    • Play, feed her lunch, and put her down for naps.
    • Enjoy free time while she sleeps!
    Gardening (Sometimes):
    • Help maintain our garden and keep our little paradise blooming.
    What We Offer
    • Comfortable Stay: A private room in our home with a shared bathroom.
    • Delicious Meals: We provide all your meals (you can cook by yourself or eat with us).
    • Explore the Island: We’re happy to drive you to nearby places or the bus station during weekends and your free time.
    Who We’re Looking For
    • Kind & Caring: Patient, trustworthy, and great with kids.
    • Nature Enthusiast: Loves being in nature and enjoys a peaceful, rural setting.

    • Accepted: can be a couple and in this case the second person will be ask to help Simon in the house such as maintenance, little construction, gardening (same hours: from 9 am to 3pm, 1 hour break for lunch)
    If you’re excited about living in a beautiful, peaceful place and becoming part of a warm family, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out so we can get to know each other better!

    Looking forward to meeting you,
    Simon, Axelle, Lili & Bongo

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are excited to offer a unique opportunity for social and cultural exchange on our beautiful island. Whether you’re into hiking, ocean activities, or learning new skills, there’s something for everyone. Simon, a passionate kite surfer, and Axelle, a dedicated yoga instructor (young mother so slowly getting back to the practice :) , are eager to share their knowledge and experiences with you.

    Simon is also a skilled handyman, and he would love to exchange tips and practical skills with you. Additionally, we are working on creating a fruit garden with a variety of trees, and we invite you to be part of this collaborative project, sharing the joy of growth and community.

    Join us for an enriching experience where we can learn from each other, explore the island, and build lasting connections!
